During a 2015 Interview w/ FADER, titled "How To Stay Cool As Fuck Forever, According To George Clinton", George Clinton mentioned that David Bowie's song "Fame" inspired his song, "We Want The Funk":
"We Want The Funk," I was biting off David Bowie. Faaaame! Weeeeee want the funk! I would be sued like Robin Thicke right now. I would be in trouble. Because the beat and the feel—I didn't copy the melody, because if you copy seven notes of the melody, that's what the copyright law is. But the feel. I just added the silent parts that he didn't say. It's the same feel. Of course David Bowie had funk! You don't know David Bowie if you ask whether he had funk.
